The founder of Hungary’s ABZ Innovation explains why off-the-shelf agricultural drones fell short on reliability, pushing the company to design heavy-duty spraying and spreading aircraft from scratch. The episode covers modular architecture, the engineering trade-offs of building for farmers who value uptime over novelty, and what it takes to sell across more than 40 countries with divergent drone regulations.
Ludvigh also addresses how the war in Ukraine reshaped Europe’s drone supply chain, and where ABZ draws the line on dual-use and defence work.
